Just in time for Bush's speech. Oy!
Oh great, the worst of the worst freed right before Bush goes on.
Didn't Saddam do the exact same thing?
yeaaaarrrgh!
It's almost over, so let's release the most despicable, disgusting, violent, and fanatic protesters to make sure the last night is a stain upon the First Amendment.
Just process them reeeeal slowly.
I say bring the judge down to the pier... Problem solved.
Didn't one of these idiots try to kill a police officer? Charge that one, and hold the others as material witnesses. Make it fly until tommorow at 3 am. Then let 'em walk home. Thru Central Park.
O'Reilly's gonna go NUTS over this. You know how he feels about corrupt judges.
Judge gave them an out
".....or brought to holding pens at arraignment courts by 5 p.m"
Bring them all over at the same time. That should delay them a tad. And then after they are ordered to be released, take them BACK to the holding cells for "final processing".
That should keep them tied up till around midnight or so.
After 36 hours in jail they'll only have food and sleep in mind.
7 days later the DA drops all charges.
For my part, I prefer the right to be confronted with the charges and defend against them.
I am trying to find out the details on the judge... He may be not all that bad (see below)... Looking for more info.
Here is an excerpt from an NYT article:
Something unusual happened in State Supreme Court in Manhattan in April, when more than a dozen antiwar protesters who had been convicted of disorderly conduct were to be sentenced
Prosecutors took the rare step of asking the court to unseal records of four of the protesters' prior arrests on civil disobedience charges that had been dismissed. The court granted the request.
According to the decision, by Justice John Cataldo, "It is well established that sentencing courts may take into consideration prior criminal conduct for which a defendant has never been tried or convicted, if, and only if, the information presented with regard to those crimes is demonstrated to be reliable and accurate."
-- Snip --
Protesters who think their prior arrests on minor violations have been sealed and dismissed might be in for a surprise. And, some defense lawyers say, protesters who get swept up in mass arrests and who would have accepted A.C.D.'s as a quick way to exit the criminal justice system might not, thinking that the charge might somehow be revived. With as many as 1,000 arrests expected a day, the result would be judicial gridlock.

Any background info on the Judge? Is he a Clinton appointee? I did a Google search but came up empty.
I sure hope they plan more mischief for prime time. Their antics don't play well in middle America and swing states.
**Bring them all over at the same time. That should delay them a tad. And then after they are ordered to be released, take them BACK to the holding cells for "final processing".

You have the best recommendation so far!
The American people will look at the protesters in all their weird and obnoxious glory and they'll look at Kerry and the two will be forever intertwined as representative of each other.
Whatever havoc they wreak will go against Kerry.
